While we're on the subject of ineligible players, a situation may be = occurring at UAF in this weekend's series against MSU that I'm not sure = how I feel about. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported this morning = that 2 unnamed UAF players are facing eligiblity questions. Coach Dave = Laurion would not release names because one of the players is in the = process of appealing.. According to the article, all players eligible = last semester may play in this weekend's 3 game series regardless of = their academic status from last semester. No one will be declared = ineligible until classes actually start later in the month. Now of course I want all our players available for this weekend and I = understand allowing the player who has appealed to play. But what about = the other player? If he has clearly failed in meeting the academic = requirements for last semester and is not appealing, should he be = playing? Does anyone know the exact rule in these circumstances? I = expect it's acceptable and I'd definitely like to see us at full = strength, but it does trouble me. It just doesn't seem like the right = decision. On the other hand, we are expecting another player to regain his = academic eligiblity after sitting out last semester. Assuming he got = his grades back up, is he not allowed to play this weekend because = classes haven't started? Or is he allowed to play because he made = grades which were in a couple of weeks ago? Of course, I don't know the exact details, but does anyone care to = comment about this situation?
